Inside the Matchup: Michigan vs Purdue

Michigan comes home to the Big House nearly at a crossroads in its season — battered by injuries but buoyed by opportunity. The Wolverines’ 31-20 win over Michigan State steadied the ship after a turbulent October, yet it came at a cost. Multiple starters are expected to miss Saturday’s matchup against Purdue, including star running back Justice Haynes, as Sherrone Moore’s team looks to reach the bye week at 7–2 and reset for a stretch run that could still lead to the College Football Playoff.
